3 Paragraphs

Paragraph 1
Look at the effects of fossil fuels and compare them to the use of alternative fuels. Then look at other ways of obtaining energy and their effects on the environment.
Thesis: The immense consumption and release of fossil fuels into the atmosphere need to be addressed and alternative forms of obtaining energy be found in order to prolong the existence of our Earth's environment for future generations.

Paragraph 2
The sources that I am using now have allowed me to find adequate information on my topic, so far. All of them have been giving background information on fossil fuels and their uses and why we still use them today. Then again other source are showing that renewable energy are just as good as a source of energy just with a few downsides but not as many negatives as the ways we are doing things right now. I feel like I'm going to need to look at more in depth and specific topics and compare the use of say solar energy to the use of burning coal, to come up with an effective argument on my topic.

Paragraph 3
So far Im starting to see that it is harder to differentiate between just the general speculation of saying that fossil fuels are bad for the environment and that green energy is 100% good. Most articles are many one sided and biased towards on or another. But Im finding some success in the information I need to be gathering. To help avoid this problem I am going to do specific research on the different methods of obtaining energy like just buying coal or drilling for natural gas. Then formulate a specific position of my own in order to reduce the amount of bias given by the articles and sources I'm using right now.
